    ms/sctp: don't free the ASCONF's own transport in DEL-IP processing
    
    sctp_process_asconf() caches the transport the ASCONF chunk is processed
    against in asconf->transport (== chunk->transport, set once in sctp_rcv()).
    For an ASCONF located through its Address Parameter by
    __sctp_rcv_asconf_lookup(), that cached transport corresponds to the
    Address Parameter, which need not be the packet's source address.
    
    sctp_process_asconf_param() rejects a DEL-IP for the packet source address
    (ADDIP D8, SCTP_ERROR_DEL_SRC_IP), but nothing protects asconf->transport.
    A single ASCONF can therefore carry, in order:
    
        [Address Parameter L] [DEL-IP L] [DEL-IP 0.0.0.0]
    
    where L differs from the source. The DEL-IP for L passes the D8 check and
    calls sctp_assoc_rm_peer() on the transport that asconf->transport still
    points at, freeing it (RCU-deferred). The following wildcard DEL-IP then
    reuses the now-dangling asconf->transport in sctp_assoc_set_primary() and
    sctp_assoc_del_nonprimary_peers(): set_primary() dereferences the freed
    transport (->ipaddr, ->state) and plants the dangling pointer into
    asoc->peer.primary_path / active_path, and del_nonprimary_peers(), keeping
    only the pointer that is no longer on the list, removes every real
    transport, leaving the association with a transport_count of 0 and
    primary_path/active_path pointing at freed memory.
    
    Reject a DEL-IP that targets the transport the ASCONF is being processed
    against, mirroring the existing source-address guard, so the wildcard
    branch can never reuse a freed transport.
